Telstra to bring Sony Ericsson Xperia neo to Australia

Telstra announced that it will bring the Sony Ericsson Xperia neo to Australia. Pricing and availability information are unknown at the moment, and we’ll have to wait for a “date closer to launch” to find that out. In the meantime, it’s good to know Telstra wants to keep up with the times and have a “fresh” portfolio of products all the time.

As you probably know by now, the Xperia neo comes with a 3.7-inch WVGA Mobile BRAVIA Engine capacitive touchscreen, HSPA and WiFi connectivity, 8-megapixel camera with HD video recording capability, 1GHz Qualcomm processor, GPS, Bluetooth, all of the “standard for Android” sensors and a memory card slot. Moreover, there are HDMI and DNLA connectivity options making it easy to send pictures and video from the phone to a TV screen.

The phone runs Android 2.3 with Sony Ericsson’s own UI singing on top of it. You can check our initial thoughts on the device from the “hands-on” post.
